CUBS are batting 1 for 14 in extra innings.... the only hit.... a 2 run homer

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

woo time to strand some runners

[TruffleShuffle]

ok this pitcher is really good and fontenot, soto and blanco are really bad. i'm feelin' it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano in to pitch for Atlanta

[Outshined_One]

Fake rally?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot singled to left field

[witty alias]

Randy Wells should get a free swing at Gregg

 

Because Marmol had nothing to with losing the lead. Only the 9th inning is important.

 

Closer with a 2 run lead should normally be a safe bet for a save.

 

8th inning guy shouldn't allow two runs in the 8th. I know he was only charged with one, but if he could have thrown strikes, they wouldn't have scored. Marmol was just as bad as Gregg tonight..

[Butterscup1679666578]

PHing for soto?

[Little Slide Rooter]

sheer fng brilliance Lou.

[Butterscup1679666578]

scales must be mostly dumb.

[Guest]

Nice bunt.

[Tryptamine]

Fake rally?

 

Of course. It wouldn't be a Cub game without a fake rally and some WTP to end it. Nice bunt.......

[CHCinIC]

really?

[Little Slide Rooter]

sheer fng brilliance Lou.

[PrimeTime]

LOL

[Three Finger]

I get a sick feeling in my stomach whenever we go into extras, but especially on a night when our started took a no-no into the 7th. Bullpen comes to the rescue once again.

[Derwood]

i hate Sac bunts by ANYONE but pitchers

[NotSoSober]

Scales fits in perfectly

[witty alias]

PHing for soto?

 

Lou is lost.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Scales, pinch hitting for Soto, popped out to the pitcher

[Guest]

Not getting runs this inning with the crap coming up.

[BigSlick]

This is easily one of the worst managed games by Lou Piniella, and I really need only point at the Marmol substitution after a Theriot error while Wells was cruising and has like 80 pitches

[TruffleShuffle]

solid managerial decision as always, lou.
